65 minutes
Beef in tomato sauce with lima beans is a hearty dish of Russian cuisine that combines the tenderness of meat with a spicy tomato base and the rich texture of beans. This dish refers to the traditions of home cooking where simple yet rich flavors are important. The mild heat of chili adds an interesting depth, while carrots and onions soften the taste. The meat stewed in aromatic sauce becomes tender and absorbs all the ingredients, creating a harmony of flavors. The dish is perfect for cozy family dinners as well as for celebrations. It can be served with a piece of fresh bread or herbs to highlight its rich aroma.
